Seconds From Disaster: Bhopal Nightmare
At around midnight on 3rd December 1984 began the
worst nightmare for Bhopal. The night of terror
and death. A cloud of deadly gases exploded from
the pesticide plant that belonged to Union Carbide
India, a subsidiary of the US-based Union Carbide
Company because of an exothermic reaction due to
the entry of water to the tank containing 42 tons
of methyl isocyanate releasing large amount of
toxic gases into the atmosphere. The gases flooded
into the homes of sleeping people of Bhopal,
causing great panic as people woke up with a
burning sensation in their lungs, suffocation,
cough, burning eyes and vomiting, breathlessness,
stomach pains and vomiting.
